Hamlet:
There's letters seal'd, and my two schoolfellows,
Whom I will trust as I will adders fang'd—
They bear the mandate, they must sweep my way
And marshal me to knavery. Let it work;
For 'tis the sport to have the enginer
Hoist with his own petard, an't shall go hard
But I will delve one yard below their mines
And blow them at the moon.

"Hoist with his own petard" literally means "blown up with his own mine." More generally, a "petard" is a hat-shaped device which can be be charged with gunpowder. Here's how Hamlet arrives at the phrase:

The prince—having "caught the conscience" of the murderous King Claudius [see THE PLAY'S THE THING]—is about to be packed off on a little vacation to England. He apparently hasn't been feeling too well in the head, so the king orders Hamlet's old school chums Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to keep him company. Though the two fools are relatively innocent (for spies), Hamlet knows that Claudius has some "knavery" planned and that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are the king's tools.

Hamlet has already guessed that the letters his schoolfellows are carrying to the English court bear a "mandate" for his immediate execution. The prince intends to hoise this mine in the king's face. Claudius is the "enginer," the deviser of the explosive; and his plot is about a yard shallower than that of his nephew, who will send Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to the fate intended for himself.

Uh, Slim, I thought you were from WV, not Ohio. lww is from Ohio.
Hoist by thine owne petard, silly boy! LMFAO!

What is wrong with your brain. You asked for proof of people double voting. Thats what i googled nd thats what it shows. If you want something exact for west virginia which is a small state lets try again.

Well here in west virginia they vote as much as they like and the people that run the elections knows it. I dont think its quite legal but it happens.

CHARLES TOWN - A Jefferson County commissioner who faces two misdemeanor counts following an alleged attempt to cast a second ballot in a November referendum says others have voted twice in numerous local elections.
"Nine people voted twice, not just 'tried.' Their double votes were all treated as provisional ballots. ... There were no actions taken against the double-voters," Commissioner Jim Surkamp stated in a recent e-mail to The Journal.

Wow! 9 people in Charles Town voted twice! Yeah, that's the whole state, Slim. Aren't you feeling just a little stupid right now?
No, I don't imagine you are. You came on here with an agenda and everyone can guess what it is.

So Hondo's a Republican who lied about being from West Virginia? You tell em, johnny d.

Things got exciting at my church today. Seems Rev. Jenkins dropped one of the rattlers and, wouldn't ya know it..that dang snake climbed up Luther's pant leg and bit him clean in the nuts. That boy looked like he had two grapefuits under his pants on account of the venom and all. He'll be alright, although he did lose his nuts. That'll teach him to stop his sinning ways.

Rev, Jenkins (bless his heart):

Im waiting for hondo to explain why Obama didnt win even one count down here in west virginia even though we had a demicrat governer and two demicrat senaters. If it aint because of racists and klan then what is it.
